PDP Tackles Obasanjo Over Comment Against Atiku
PDP has tackled Obasanjo because of the comment he made against Atiku.
THE NATION REPORTERS reports that the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) on Monday has reacted to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s comment that he made mistake when he chose his running mate.
The present Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, was Chief Obasanjo’s vice President during his administration.
The former President had on Saturday said he made a mistake in choosing his vice President but he did not mention Atiku in his statement.
He said, “One of the mistakes I made was picking my number two when I wanted to become the President. But because it was a genuine mistake, God saved me.”
In reaction to the statement, the party’s Board of Trustees Chairman, Senator Walid Jibril, threatened that he will be left with no option but to “tell the whole world and Nigerians who Obasanjo is” if he fails to openly repeat the statement.
Jibril said, “I wish to appeal to former President Obasanjo to come out openly to repeat what he has said. Whether or not he was misquoted or meant what was credited to him.
“Although he has not debunked what was reported, one can assume that what was quoted to have been said by him is correct, but if he fails to openly come out and say which is correct in 48 hours, you will hear the bombardment and I will have no option but to break the egg and tell the whole world and Nigerians who Obasanjo is.
“There is no doubt Obasanjo may still be angry with Atiku even after helping him to succeed but perhaps for truncating his third term agenda. In any case, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku is our presidential candidate and I can tell you for sure that he will be the President in 2023 Insha Allah.”
